Shortcat has a ~second delay before showing links, homerow (https://www.homerow.app) is faster.

I wonder if it has to do with accessibility API thread locking. I found a different extension I used to emulate an i3 style environment suffered when I used the Unity game engine. It ended up being limitations of the accessibility API.

		Could be, but there is another app that does the same thing faster so there must be some optimizations available.

This delay is configurable. The delay is there so you can actually type a bit before the UI pops up, and then the UI will be filtered to just your selection.

The configuration lies. Even with "Show hints" set to "Immediately", there is a long delay. Feels like half a second on M1 Pro.

		Fair, fair—it's default is longer, so dialing it down made it feel zippy by comparison. I'm trying out Homerow and I'm really liking it! Thanks for mentioning it. I might end up sticking with it actually.
